The Curse of Love
Part 11 Meeting of Two Families

"Mother, Nia, Sofwan will be going home for a while to mom and dad."

"Well, it's likely 3 days, and if possible, Sofwan will bring his family's mother and father here."

"Be careful on the road, son, say hello from both of us."

"Be careful here too, Nia.Keep yourself and your mother, be careful not to cheat."

"Thin-thin can you? my god!"

"Your life is right to say thin."

"Thin-thin long-long so thick-thick.ngga exist...Sofwan's a sewot."

"Remember, as long as I'm not around, take care of your heart for me.."

"Basic lebay.cubile."

"Yes, be careful on the street Sofwan, do not speed on the bike ya."

Why is it sad to see him leave. Loss feeling. He had only been gone three days, but it felt like three years.

"Are you sure of your choice, Sofwan?"

I sipped a cup of warm tea and mom sat down next to my dad and Sofwan.

"Mother and father never forbid much less get in your way."

"Whatever your best decision is, we as parents will always support you."

"Thank you sir, thank you mom!! Sofwan is happy and proud to have parents like father and mother."

"Sofwan sure even very confident in Sofwan's choice of heart."

"Even if Sofwan and Sania are four years old, but Sofwan doesn't think it's going to be an obstacle."

"If you've considered it and believe in marrying her, we as parents can only allow it."

"But you should also talk about it with your brothers."

"However you are brothers, what else are you the youngest child in this house, the only other boy."

"Tomorrow your brothers will gather, tomorrow we will talk about it again."

"You took a break on your trip this afternoon quite far."

"Your room has been cleaned by mbok Nah."

"Thank you mom.pak...Sofwan rest first."

"Your youngest son is already a big man, even though it feels like just yesterday the mother carried him, bribed him, suddenly now has asked permission to get married."

"Yes ma'am, even had the courage to get out of the house to find a job on your own and start an independent life out there."

"Actually I wonder sir, who is the woman who can change her nature, from a selfish, spoiled man to an independent and tough man."

"Who was his name, sir? Sania?"

"First Sofwan decides to look for a job to the city, in fact the mother strongly disagrees."

"Mother is very afraid.she never lived a lack in this house, whatever her wishes are always fulfilled."

"Let it be ma'am.whatever he does as long as it's good and doesn't hurt others, let it be."

"Actually what I'm worried about is Nuri, Juwita, and Anya sir."

"What's wrong with them mom?"

"You know, the three of them loved Sofwan so much, his brothers spoiled him so much."

"Remember, how the three contradicted when Sofwan decided to live independently first."

"It's okay ma'am, they should understand."

"Their sister was not a snot boy like before who could be arranged again his life, now he was a grown man."

"Sofwan has the right to determine what is best for his life, and our duty as his parents is to support him as long as it does not harm anyone."

"Well, may they think the same as us sir."

"It's okay ma'am.toh we used to support them when we decided to marry the man of their choice."

I can only sigh. "Well, I hope that what I'm thinking about won't come true."

"Why wake up, son?" he also looked at the open door of the room.

"Sofwan woke up mom...Sofwan can talk here first with his father and mother!!"

"So now mbok Nah don't stay here anymore, ma'am?"

"No boy.because Tami's a kid has a baby, so pity it until tonight."

"Tono's husband can often work the night shift, so it's a pity they are both left alone."

"Yes ma'am after all Tami and mas Tono have been married for a long time, and finally just had this child."

"Yes nothing, anyways mbok Nah has finished all his work this afternoon."

"Mothers aren't as busy as they were when you were all kids."

"Your father is also retired, so he is always home, your three brothers come every day to visit my mother."

"The house is more crowded Sofwan, what else after school three ponakan you gather all here, lose-lose the market here."

He smiled at the behavior of his three grandchildren.

"If tomorrow you've met and talked to your brothers, the day after tomorrow we go to see the Sania family."

"Is your dad still strong enough to drive? travel far enough."

"You underestimated your father yes.Mom smiled at Sofwan's worries.

"The journey is only 3 hours, there is nothing you need to worry about, son."

"Yes we rest, your father is getting sleepy."

"Come ma'am...Sofwan is also sleepy again."

"Assalamualaikum.grandmother.kakek..."

"Waalaikum greetings. Grandma's grandchildren have come..."

"Om Sofwan where grandma said om yesterday home."

Anisa Nuri's son is indeed chatty like her mother. Different from Juwita's and Anya's children. Melati and Carnation, they were both quiet.

"There's a back again help Grandpa clean up the fish pond."

They ran straight into the back garden.

"Mom, is it true that Sofwan will propose to a woman who he says is older than him?" Nuri opened the conversation.

"Tomorrow Nuri, mother and father will visit their home."

"Ouwh.."that's the only response while Juwita and Anya have already entered first.

"Why don't you stop by your sisters' house, Sofwan?" Jill opened the conversation.

"The plan is today, brother.but the three of you have stopped by."

"How are your brothers and sisters?"

"They are good Sofwan.they also always ask when you want to join their company."

"Sofwan already has a job, even though the salary is not large but Sofwan knows now, how the father of banging bones looking for money first to support the family."

"Good Sofwan.kak Juwita who had been silent earlier commented."

"Starting from nothing is good, to shape your mentality, because you are a man who will be responsible to your wife's child."

"If you're responsible to yourself you can't, how do you want to be responsible to your family."

My brother number two is indeed wiser than Nuri who always speaks firmly and sister Anya who always comments spicy if not in accordance with the wishes of his heart.

Hopefully Sania can understand and be able to adjust to my three older sisters.

"When you bring your candidate here, we'll meet him Sofwan." Anya said short.

"Of course, sister, but tomorrow the father and mother will be in touch first to Sania's house."

Without much talking they went back into the house. And I don't know why I feel bad in my heart. I hope this is just my feeling.

"Hallo Assalamualaikum's..."Waalaikum salam sahut voice from there."

"Nia, today Sofwan wants to come with his father and mother."

"We want to leave at 7 from here hopefully if there is no obstacle at 10 we have arrived there, please convey to mother yes Nia."

"God willing, Nia will tell you..."

It feels like my heart is blossoming.It's fun to be scared too.Fear they can't accept me and my mom. And it's nice because I finally got to meet my future father-in-law.

"Assalamualaikum boss.today Nia permission first yes, because parents mas Sofwan want to come home."

After asking my boss for permission at the factory I went to the kitchen to tell mom.

"Mom today Sofwan's parents want to come, mom is ready to be home."

"Nia wants to go for a while, when they come we have no preparation whatsoever."

"Yes..go later the mother who will prepare the needs at home yes!"

"Have you asked your boss's permission not to work today?"

"Mom, it's all right."

"It's gone, ma'am...Assalamualaikum..."

"Greetings waalaikum..."
